Abstract
This research was conducted to evaluate and
compare the performance of the silkworm hybrid CSR2 X CSR4 reared with
three varieties of mulberry leaves. In this study, the silkworms were fed with
leaves from V1, M5 and S1635 trees and their influence on Fifth instar
duration, larval, cocoon, shell and pupal weight, silk ratio, average filament
length, filament weight and denier were examined. The results showed that
silkworms that consumed leaves of V1 had better performance for traits of
cocoon shell weight, feed efficiency to cocoon shell weight, and feed
efficiency to cocoon weight than M5 and S1635 trees. Therefore, V1 tree is
suggested for development of sericulture.
